72:401998-12-01Forest LakeWashington(record #99-11; vote 4-3, with a 5-2 vote or higher required for acceptance). The majority accepted this record because the bird was seen by two experienced observers, because the species is not easily confused with others, and because other late-lingering birds had been reported about the same time. Those not accepting the record agreed that the bird was probably correctly identified, but the documentation includes no direct description of the bird. Not Accepted
